Three Concerns For Palace

Town trio of Gavin Williams, Alan Lee and Richard Naylor are all doubts for Town’s trip to Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Scans have shown Williams has damaged a ligament in his pelvis and not caused any further damage to his groin.

 

Town’s head of sport science Dave Williams: “He's damaged a ligament in his pelvis and it's a new injury entirely, Gavin has had some scans and we are also running some more tests on him and are awaiting the results of those.

 

“He says the discomfort he was feeling in his groin has eased, which is encouraging but it's obviously disappointing with this new problem.

 

“It's too early to tell how long he may be out for. We will know more after the results of the tests come back but he's certainly got to be very doubtful for Saturday.”

 

Alan Lee and Richard Naylor are carrying hamstring and toe injuries respectively, with Town manager Jim Magilton saying he will just have to be careful with the pair.  

 

Jim: “We have to be careful with Alan. He played last season with a tight hamstring and it went in the next game and he spent a month out, we will make a late call on him and it's the same with Bam Bam.”
